ed note–a few ‘revelations’ to get this discussion started in the right direction–
…Then I heard a loud voice saying to the seven angels, ‘Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath upon the earth’, and the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image…
The previous quote has been lifted, ‘raptured’, if you will, from the pages of the one book (outside the Old Testament or ‘Torah’, that is) that is read FANATICALLY by Israel’s largest base of support–numerically, at least–in the world, Christian Zionist Evangelicals, and that book is what’s known as ‘Revelations’.
It’s all about the end of the world, and just like some episode out of the Star Wars saga, has all sorts of exciting and frightening characters and situations–‘the Beast’, the ‘worshipers’ of the beast, the 4 horsemen, and of course, the ‘7 angels’ and the ‘7 plagues’ as mentioned above.
Now, we are not saying that ‘God’ or any other higher spiritual power has unleashed heaven-made plagues that now have upended all human political/economic/social order across the globe for the last 2+ years.
Our reason for pointing out the biblical reference above is to show exactly what it is that the largest base of support–again, numerically speaking–for a certain theocratic state in the Middle East is reading and LISTENING TO on a daily basis and has been for GENERATIONS.
Just the kind of situation in which certain interested ‘3rd parties’ might want to capitalize their position in garnering EVEN MORE support by utilizing their diabolically-assisted 666th sense of ‘precognition’ viz their understanding of human nature and human psychology. After all, as the history of the last 6,000 years has shown, these same ‘3rd parties’ have demonstrated TIME AND AGAIN how they have been successful in using ideas, (especially those rooted in religion) ‘prophecy’ and ‘revelation’ in mobilizing huge masses of people under their sway into doing things that they would not otherwise do, and now is no exception.
The other ‘revelation’ we would like to discuss from the ‘pulpit’ here is the following quote from the book ‘The Other Side of Deception’ by former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky who writes in part–
At the time, chasing Palestinians who infiltrated the border was an almost daily occurrence. Most of the time, the infiltrators would be killed during the chase or in short skirmishes in the parched desert. There were cases, however in which the terrorists would be captured alive; nevertheless, most of the time, even if they were taken alive, they’d be announced as dead over the radio so no one would await their return.
That was where I would come in as a military police officer; my job was to take the prisoners to a holding facility in Nes Ziyyona, a small town south of Tel Aviv. I’d always assumed that it was an interrogation facility for the Shaback. We all knew that a prisoner brought there would probably never get out alive, but the brainwashing we’d gone through in our short lifetimes had convinced us that it was either them or us and that there was no gray area.
It was Uri who enlightened me regarding the Nes Ziyyona facility. It was, he said, ‘an ABC warfare laboratory’, ‘ABC’ standing for atomic, bacteriological, and chemical, where our top epidemiological scientists were developing various doomsday machines. The Palestinian infiltrators came in handy in this regard. As human guinea pigs, they could make sure the weapons the scientists were developing worked properly and could verify how fast they worked and make them even more efficient.
Years later, I met Uri again. This time he was in the Mossad, a veteran katsa in the A1 department, and I was a rookie. He had come back from an assignment in South Africa. I was then a temporary desk man in the Dardasim department in liaison, helping him prepare for a large shipment of medication to South Africa to accompany several Israeli doctors who were headed for some humanitarian work in Soweto, a black township outside Johannesburg. The doctors were to assist in treating patients at an outpatient clinic for the Baragwanath hospital in Soweto, a few blocks away from the houses of Winnie Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu. The hospital and the clinic were supported by a hospital in Baltimore, which served as a cut-out for the Mossad.
What is the Mossad doing giving humanitarian assistance to blacks in Soweto?’ I remember asking him. There was no logic to it; no short-term political gain (which was the way the Mossad operated) or any visible monetary advantage.
Do you remember Nes Ziyyona? he asked.
His question sent shivers up my spine. I nodded.
This is very much the same. We’re testing both new infectious diseases and new medication that can’t be tested on humans in Israel for several of the Israeli medicine manufacturers. This will tell them whether they’re on the right track, saving them millions in research.

Just when the world thought it was done with the worst of COVID, an outbreak of another virus has scientists worried.
Cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in the U.K., Portugal, Sweden, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, the U.S., Canada and Australia.
What’s concerning experts is the unusual spread of the disease. Monkeypox usually circulates in Africa, with occasional individual cases linked to travel detected overseas. But according to the EU’s disease control agency, recent cases in Europe appear to have spread from person to person, for the first time, without any direct link to Africa. What’s more, health authorities in a number of countries have noted that the spread appears to be concentrated among gay or bisexual men.
What is monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a disease caused by a virus that is in the same family as smallpox.
The symptoms of monkeypox typically start with a fever, sore muscles, swollen lymph nodes and headaches. Typically, within one to three days after the fever begins, a distinct bumpy rash begins to develop — often starting on the face — and spreads, including over the hands and feet.
However, monkeypox is less deadly than smallpox. The West African type that scientists have detected in Europe has a mortality rate of a little under 4 percent. So far, no deaths have been reported in the recent European outbreak but monkeypox can leave patients bedbound for days at a time. The disease usually lasts between two to four weeks.
Where are the cases?
In this most recent outbreak, the U.K. became the first country to detect a case of monkeypox on May 6. Since then, a total of nine people have been found with the disease in the country. The U.K. Health Security Agency said that these cases have mostly been among gay or bisexual men. The virus was also found elsewhere in Europe. Portugal reported 14 cases of monkeypox, and Spain confirmed 30 cases. Meanwhile, Italy has three confirmed cases, Belgium two and Sweden has one confirmed case so far.
Canada’s Public Health Agency confirmed two cases in the country. A case has also been reported in the U.S., with the man having recently traveled to Canada, while other possible cases are being monitored. While Australia reports one confirmed case and another suspected one.
Why are experts concerned?
The concern, expressed by virologist Marion Koopmans, is the fact that the cases of monkeypox have been detected in several different countries, given that monkeypox is ordinarily not very contagious. Koopmans, head of the Erasmus MC department of viroscience, tweeted Thursday that the outbreak is ‘starting to be worrisome.’ She said that in the past that the occasional imported cases usually didn’t keep spreading. ‘In this situation, new cases have been detected in different countries,’ she said. ‘That is very unusual.’
Koopmans said it could be that monkeypox has become more transmissible and there’s ‘an urgent need’ for more information.
More broadly, Michael Head, senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton, said the imported cases ‘indicate a wider burden of disease elsewhere in the world.’
‘It may be that in a post-pandemic environment, we should be giving more consideration to understanding the local and global implications of Lassa, monkeypox, Ebola and other rare but serious pathogens,’ he said.
What are experts recommending?
The ECDC is asking public health groups to raise awareness of monkeypox in communities of people identifying as men who have sex with men, who have multiple sexual partners or who are having casual sex.
Monkeypox isn’t known to be transmitted sexually, said the University of Southampton’s Head earlier this week, commenting on the U.K. cases. ‘It’s more that here the close contact during sexual or intimate activity, including prolonged skin-to-skin contact, may be the key factor during transmission,’ he explained.
Jimmy Whitworth, professor of international public health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said that the outbreak in the U.K. was ‘unprecedented.’ However, he said if the cases were identified, isolated and treated as well as close contacts identified and monitored, it could be ‘quickly brought under control.’
In countries where vaccines against smallpox are available, the ECDC recommends consideration of vaccination of high-risk close contacts, after a risk-benefit assessment. And if antivirals are available, they should be considered for the treatment of severe cases, the agency said. In the U.K. some health care staff, as well as other at risk contacts, are being offered smallpox vaccines. In Spain, the newspaper El País reported that the country’s health ministry is preparing to buy thousands of doses to help contain the outbreak.
